Chapter 76 

Soon , the entire Drayton family gathered at the hospital 

Tension and unease filled the room as they stood around Rowena’s bed , Rupert , in particular , looked as though he was on the verge of an explosion .

The memories of the day’s live broadcast replayed incessantly in his mind .

 

After finally coming to terms with the truth – that his beloved daughter was far from the angel he believed he was further shaken by the revelation of her feigned vegetative state .

His face remained flushed with anger from the moment he left the mansion to the second he arrived at the hospital .

 

But when he saw Bowens lying weakly in the bed , calling him “ Dad ” with a feelile voice , his resolve wavered .

Concern replaced his anger as he joined the others in waiting for her medical examination results .

 

This time , Tonn personally oversaw every step of the CT scan , ensuring no mistakes or oversights .

He even insisted on changing doctors for impartiality .

 

Despite mentally bracing himself , Torin was still blindsided by the cruel reality when the results came in .

 

The doctor said .

“ Miss Drayton is in excellent health .

Her heart shows no signs of abnormalities .

There is mild kidney weakness , likely due to poor lifestyle habits such as staying up lar .

” 

Torin stormed into the room , clutching the results , and thing the papers at Rowena .

 

Torin , what are you doing ? Fenwick exclaimed , rushing to shield towna , who cowered behind him .

 

Torin sneered , pushing Fenwick aside .

“ What am I doing ? Shouldn’t we be asking Rowena what she’s doing ! Faking illness is it fun ? Huh ? ” 

His voice dripped with mockery as he pointed at Rowena “ First , she pretended to be in a vegetative state .

Then she faked heart disease .

What about the fall down the stairs ? Was than Fake Ino ? Rowena , since the day you stepped into the Drayton family , has anything about you been real ! ” 

Fenwick couldn’t believe it .

Refusing to accept Torin’s accusations , he stepped forward to forcibly remove Torin from the room .

Rupert , after a brief hesitation , also moved to restrain Torin 

“ Torin , calm down , Rupert urged .

“ This is a hospital .

Your sister isn’t feeling well .

Whatever the issue is , we can discuss it at home ” 

But Torin shrugged them off his fury unabated .

He stormed back to Rowena , grabbed her by the collar , and hissed , “ The evidence is right here , Rowena .

How did I never realize how good you are at acting ” 

Althea dropped to her knees , clunching Torins leg and sobbing “ Torin , please … Rowena just wants a little more attention from all of you .

She didn’t mean to deceive anyone … ” .

 

Expecting the others to step in and support her .

Althea was shocked when Chellan quietly locked the door .

He then gently lifted her to her feet and said , “ Mom .

I have some questions for Rowena .

Please rest in the adjacent room for now ! 

Sensing that things were spiraling out of control , Althea wisely chose to leave , retreating to the next room while muttering tearfully .

“ I never thought Kowens would do something so foolish … ” 

With Althea gone and Fenwick forcibly removed by hospital staff , the room now contained only Torin , Caetan , and Rowena 

“ I didn’t …… .

I really don’t feel well … I swear … ” Rowena’s voice cracked as tears streamed down her face .

But this time , her tears weren’t an act – they were born of fear .

 

Even Carllan , who had always followed her lead , wasn’t defending her .

 

Did they see the video of me choking Elysia Rowena wondered , panic sexting in .

 

Carllan finally broke the silence , his voice hourse , “ Rowen , during the two years 1 was blind and hospitalized , the person who brought me meals and stayed with me … Was it really you ? ” 

eyes locked onto her , scrutinizing every flicker of her expression .

 

“ And the poison… ” He hesitated , his voice trembling .

“ Who gave me the poison that blinded me ! ” 

Rowena’s face turned ashen .

She stammered , her gaze darting nervously .

“ Of course , it was me ! I brought you meals every day after school , Mom even cooked them ! You can ask her 

Howena’s demeanor steadied slightly as she invoked Althea’s name , silently cursing Elysia for whatever tricks she had pulled .

 

““ And the poison ?” Caellan pressed .

 

Chapter 761 

Carllan’s sudden question caught Rowena completely off guard .

Instinctively , she wanted to blame Elysia , but then she remembered Torin was Mill 

there .

 

Previously , she had only told Caellan that poison had blinded him , relying on his young age to make him easier to deceive .

But Torin wouldn’t be so easily fooled .

If she said too much , he’d definitely investigate .

 

And if he started digging , he might uncover her online purchase of herb and her instructions to the servants to brew it for her .

 

“ I don’t know ,” Rowena snapped , feigning exasperation .

Your eyes are fine now , Why does it even matter ! ” 

Her sudden shift in tone – abrasive and dismissive – left Torin smirking bitterly- 

“ How could I have been so blind for all these years ? How did I pamper this lar while neglecting my real sister , Elysia ? ” Torin thought .

 

Turning to Clellan , Torin muttered , “ Handle Rowena .

I’m done here .

 

Without waiting for a response , he left the room .

 

His mind was consumed with thoughts of Elysia .

He had caught only a fleeting glimpse of her earlier , lying on that cold hospital bed .

 

The livestream is over .

She should be awake by now .

 

His heart racing .

Torin rushed back to the lab .

But this time , the door was locked .

No matter how hard he banged , no one answered .

He tried calling Elysia repeatedly , each unanswered call adding to his growing desperation 

Finally , on the ninety – ninth attemps , the call connected .

 

Torin said .

“ Elysia ! Where are you ! I’m coming to get you .

Let’s go out for steak , okay ? I’ll take you anywhere you want … ” 

There was a long silence on the other end .

Just as Torin thought the line had gone dead , a strange , distorted voice replied : 

“ Wrong … answer .

Allergic … to steak .

Goodbye ….

.

 

The line went dead .

 

Torin froze , staring blankly at his phone .

His mind replayed the fragmented response .

Allergic to steak ? Elysia is allerge ? How could I not have 

known this about it ! 

At that moment .

Torin suddenly realized just how little he knew about his sister .

The 

e weight of his ignorance crashed down on him , and tears of guilt and self – reproach streamed uncontrollably from his eyes .

 

How could I not even know what my y own sister is allergic to ? he thought bitterly .

Let alone her favorite foods or the things she loves most .

 

Torin whispered , his voice trembling with remorse , “ Elysia , you must be angry at me , aren’t you ? Angry because I didn’t remember the things you love .

It’s my fault – your brother’s fault .

Please , give me one more chance .

 

He spoke softly into the black screen of his phone , his words filled with regret and a desperate plea for forgiveness 

At that moment , he wished more than anything that he could turn back time- -to learn about , to protect , and to cherish his sister properly .

 

Just then , the door opened , and a man wearing a lab coat stepped out .

His expression was calm , as though he had been expecting Torin 

“ Mr.

Drayton ” he said , “ please leave .

Dr.

Rookwood has already departed with Miss Drayton .

” 

Back at the Drayton family .

 

y .

“ What ? No ! I’m not sick ! Why are you sending me to a psychiatric hospital ? ” 

Rowena was 

hysterical , unable to believe that Fenwick – her most loyal supporter – was now suggesting such a thing 

But her protests quickly turned to pleading .

“ I mean I’m not mentally ill .

It’s my heart , Fenwick ! You know that ! I don’t understand why the hospital couldn’t detect it .

” 

Fenwick sighed , gently patting her head .

“ I know , Rowena That hospital is controlled by the Rookwood Group .

Stellan must’ve manipulated the doctors to he .

But right now , it’s too dangerous for you outside .

The psychiatric hospital is the safest place for you ” 

His voice softened as he added , “ You saved my life once , and I’ll always stand by you .

I’ll find you a new heart as soon as possible .

Once you’re benter , I’ll bring you home immediately .

” 

Despite Rowena’s tears and desperate pleas , the entire family ultimately agreed to send her to the psychiatric hospital .

 

This idea , however , hadn’t come from Fenwick .

It had been Caellan’s suggestion .
